..at SummerFest!

Godin Guitars is thrilled to be on the road with the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus. Being on-board as the official exclusive guitar sponsor will allow Godin to reach and help educate young aspiring musicians across North America about the joys of creating music.

For a couple of days between June 26-July 06, 2008, Godin Representative Fred DiSanto joined up with the crew of the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus during their stop at SummerFest in Milwaukee, WI. Also present for 2 days was renowned Genesis guitarist Daryl Stuermer...

This way to Summerfest 2008!! Welcome to Milwaukee and the Worlds Largest Music Festival...Summerfest! Thousands gather for 11 days of music from June 26th to July 06th on the shores of lake Michigan in downtown Milwaukee.
The John Lennon Educational Tour bus arrives and sets up camp for a few days of music education!! As the official exclusive guitar sponsor for the JLETB, Godin Guitars is there every step of the way! Godin artist and Milwaukee's own, Daryl Stuermer performs at the JLETB tent. Performing in studio and live with both Phil Collins & Genesis for many years, Daryl is a monster guitarist with the chops to prove it.
